Apocalypse

Apocalypse

Silence speaking louder than screams
We all fall apart at the seams.
Light hides - Darkness veils.
Life ends, death prevails.

Like mindless waves; storm clouds roll
Drops of blood storming down from your soul,
Coating your heart, darkening your mind,
Thoughts and memories so unkind.
Smoking and smouldering like a fire’s remains
Burning in a blazing chariot of flames.
Suffocating in an abyss so dark,
Forever labelling you with his mark.

Though the rain is pouring,
Despite your screaming soul,
When your heart is wearing,
You must cover up the hole

Skies are gray and nights are cold,
How do we know when to carry on?
They say a shattered soul can mend,
A broken spirit can be repaired,
A tired heart can beat again.
But we just end up more impaired,
Cutting ourselves just to feel at all-
And though the pain burns and sears
all we feel is tears

An acidic river, fury flows,
Seeds of sadness sprout and grow.
Twisting roses, thorns on vine,
Piercing, bleeding- so divine.
Blood dries before reaching lips,
So much for those thirsty sips.
Tired soldiers stumble and fall,
Now so crippled, once so tall.

Though the rain is pouring,
Despite your screaming soul,
When your heart is wearing,
You must cover up the hole

Skies are gray and nights are cold,
How do we know when to carry on?
They say a shattered soul can mend,
A broken spirit can be repaired,
A tired heart can beat again.
But we just end up more impaired,
Cutting ourselves just to feel at all-
And though the pain burns and sears
all we feel is tears

A thousand bodies, falling to the ground,
Screams once so piercing, now not a sound.
Souls desperately trying to escape,
Unknowing of their dreadful fate.
A drop of blood, a scar a cut,
Digging deeper into this rut.

Like stars and moons are faces pale
Hearts on auction, fresh blood for sale.
Lives disappearing out of sight
This world must end here tonight.
And though the rain is pouring,
Despite your screaming soul,
When your heart is wearing,
You must cover up the hole
